Curious about how your body actually works on a molecular level? In this interactive 6-week course, we’ll explore the tiny chemical reactions that make life possible — from energy production to how your brain sends signals. You’ll learn how to think like a scientist, connect classroom science to real life, and gain confidence in tackling complex ideas. Each week blends fun explanations, visuals, and discussion to make tough topics feel exciting and accessible. ✨ Ideal for students preparing for AP Biology, AP Chemistry, or advanced STEM courses — this class builds strong foundations in biochemical processes and scientific reasoning that make higher-level science feel intuitive and approachable!

Explain the basic chemical principles that underlie biological processes. Identify and describe the structure and function of key biomolecules (proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, and nucleic acids). Understand how enzymes and metabolic pathways regulate energy use in the body. Make connections between molecular reactions and real-life examples (nutrition, exercise, medicine, etc.). Develop confidence in analyzing complex scientific concepts and communicating them clearly. Strengthen foundational skills that support success in AP Biology, AP Chemistry, and future college-level science courses.
Atoms, Bonds, and Why Water is the MVP of Biology. Foundational topics to set up the rest of the course.
Proteins, carbs, lipids, and nucleic acids explained through food, fitness, and DNA. Building blocks of biochemistry, a continuation of foundational topics.
